No, I dont think so.
Only copying one file is not enough, otherwise you have no chance
for giving additional parameters like colorspace, orientation,
resolution, etc, etc, etc. The application would have to handle all
this by itself and would require more detailed information about the
printer (which would tie the job to one specific printer).
And I dont think its too complex. Starting a job is still simple:
Just create a job dir, upload the content and write your parameters
to the appropriate files.
